Yes, Janet. It's an upright. With a chest type, we'd need a monthly
contract with a tow-truck to come pull us up back straight. Putting
breadstuff on one shelf is logical as is a vegetable shelf. Since the door
shelves eat up a lot of freezer space, we usually use them for coffee
storage and such. I guess I could delegate a shelf for sweet stuff such as
berries, pie crusts, etc.
